What is the Bubblegum Sequencer?
"The Bubblegum Sequencer is a physical step sequencer that lets you create drumloops by arranging colored balls on a tangible surface. It generates MIDI events and can be used as an input device to control audio hardware and software. Finally, people can't claim anymore that electronic music isn't handmade."
"Here's how it works: A grid of holes, consisting of several rows with 16 holes each is the canvas. On it, you arrange colored gumballs. The 16 columns represent the 16th-notes in a measure. Each color is mapped to a specific sample.
"Because the output is generated in the form of MIDI events, the Bubblegum Sequencer can be used to control any kind of audio hardware or software."

Basically this is an innovative and fun way of explaining the basics of electronic music sequencing brought to you by Hannes Hesse, Andrew McDiarmid and Rosie Han. It was conceived and created in the course "Theory and Practice of Tangible User Interfaces" at UC Berkeley's School of Information in the Fall semester 2007.
